Luke 16:13 (ERV): “You cannot serve two masters at the same
time. You will hate one master and love the other. Or you will be loyal to one
and not care about the other. You cannot serve God and Money at the same time.”
“You must keep all earthy treasures out of your heart, and
let Christ be your treasure, and let Him have your heart.” - Charles Spurgeon.
“There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The
wrong comes when riches possess men.” -
Billy Graham.
